U.S. publisher to print Anthologion

FAIRFAX, Va. — The Vatican’s Congregation for Eastern Churches has authorized the U.S. publisher Eastern Christian Publications to scan and reprint a four-volume series of liturgical texts in Greek known as the Anthologion. The original books, published between 1967 and 1980, are currently out of print and unavailable.

The books contain the complete texts for Matins, Vespers, Compline and other daily services, along with most of the changeable parts for the four major seasons of the liturgical year and the saint of the day.

The Congregation issued the originals from its archive for scanning and cleaning.

The books will be offered on a print-on-demand basis in either unbound folios or with hard-back binding. Orders will take six to eight weeks to manufacture and deliver.
